Explore the Fascinating Zoos and Wildlife Sanctuaries of the UAE

Amazing! The staff is absolutely lovely. Friendly and extremely well prepared to answer our questions about everything related with crocodiles and their nature.

We were met at entrance by an enthusiastic guide who gave us plenty of information. All the way round all the staff seemed knowledgeable and were very friendly

Toller Park, tolle Tiere, es macht Spaß. Für die Schimpansen würde ich mir wünschen, dass sie besser behandelt werden. Die Schimpansen sehen sehr traurig aus.

A Memorable Safari Experience in a Hot Climate Visiting the safari was truly enjoyable, especially with its wheelchair-friendly facilities. The organization caters well to all visitors, ensuring a pleasant experience regardless of mobility issues. Being in a hot country, it's essential to stay hydrated, so make sure to bring plenty of water. I recommend packing extra cold drinks, as you’ll likely get thirsty during the long walks around the park. Don’t forget your hat! They also offer electric mobility scooters for rent at 50 AED per hour, which is a great option if you prefer not to walk long distances, especially given the heat. The animals are housed in spacious enclosures, making it easier to spot them compared to some other places where they may be hard to find. These enclosures prioritize animal comfort, providing them with privacy while still allowing visitors to enjoy observing them. Many of the viewing areas are air-conditioned, giving you a chance to cool down and take a break from the heat. Additionally, there are misting fans along the pathways, which were effective at a temperature of 36 degrees Celsius. However, I can’t speak to their efficiency during hotter summer days. It could be beneficial for the safari to consider offering nighttime visits, similar to some zoos like San Diego, as this could enhance the experience and increase revenue, especially due to the intense daytime heat. We didn't have enough time to explore all the exhibits thoroughly; after starting our visit at 11 AM, we only managed to see the safari area and part of the Africa section before having to leave by 5 PM when things began to close. If you decide to rent an electric mobility scooter, you might be able to see more. Overall, I highly recommend this safari! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the grounds were well-maintained with a good selection of animals. Just be sure to prepare yourself with plenty of water, sun protection, and a cool corner to rest. It’s a fantastic day activity in Dubai that we truly enjoyed!
